If My Car Could Only Talk

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She met me at the station 'Cause I'm coming home on my leave I let her use my XKE 'Cause she could drive around and think of me Baby, I'm home (He's home, he's home) You look surprised; it's written on your face Where's the old crowd? (He's home, he's home) Do they still hang out at the pizza place? [Pre-Chorus 1] A flash of suspicion You learned a new way of kissin' (Watch your step, Sarah Jane, he'll catch you yet) Sarah Jane (Watch your step, Sarah Jane, he'll catch you yet) [Chorus] Sarah Jane, if-a my car could only talk to me If-a my car could only talk to me It would tell me 'bout you, baby (Where you are, baby) [Verse 2] When I cleaned my car, I found pictures from the penny arcade In my ashtray Underneath the seat, I found a cigarette lighter Engraved "Love, your baby Sarah Jane" Since I've been home (He's home, he's home) I've found evidence of a love affair Tickets to the drive-in show (He's home, he's home) A fool but once, this I swear [Pre-Chorus 2] Don't make excuses and cry I can't stand girls that lie (Watch your step, Sarah Jane, he'll catch you yet) Sarah Jane (Watch your step, Sarah Jane, he'll catch you yet) [Chorus] Sarah Jane, if-a my car could only talk to me If-a my car could only talk to me It would tell me 'bout you, baby (Where you are, baby) [Instrumental Break] (He's home, he's home He's home, he's home) [Pre-Chorus 3] (Watch your step, Sarah Jane, he'll catch you yet) (Watch your step, Sarah Jane, he'll catch you yet) [Chorus] Sarah Jane, if-a my car could only talk to me If-a my car could only talk to me It would tell me 'bout you, baby (Where you are, baby) (Where you are, baby) [Verse 4] A toast to the red, white, and blue (Red, white, and blue) I spent my leave finding out that we were through Breakin' up is so hard to do Walk away before I start crying, too [Outro] Wah-ah-ah-ah (He's gone, he's gone) Baby, I'm gone (He's gone, he's gone) Baby, I'm gone
